Matthew- Forgiven

Jesus shows the power and authority to forgive sin when he called a tax collector as a disciple.

In the society of that day "tax collectors and publicans" were of the lowest reputation in Jewish society. Yet Jesus called Levi, a tax collector to be a disciple. His name was changed to Matthew, which means "gift of YAHWEH". Brian Hoselton explains the deep meaning to be found in the calling of this disciple.
